This can be very annoying, as this has happened to me too many times.

Often times, while attempting to play with your friends via LAN, you will be confronted with an error message that looks something like this. When you have completed all the steps above, tell them to select “Join Server” at the bottom, and watch the magic happen! If you would like an easier, more reliable way to play Minecraft with friends from anywhere, check out this: When they have typed it in character by character, add a colon directly at the end of this string of characters.Īfter the colon, they need to put in the LAN number you produced earlier after you selected “Open to LAN” (There should be no spaces in between any of the numbers or characters). Next, they need to click the “Direct Connect” option on the bottom of the screen.Īfter they have the Direct Connect screen open, tell them to put in your IPV4 address (with periods and everything). Now call up your friend, (or whatever you use to communicate with them) and have them select the “Multiplayer” option on the home screen.

If you’re not sure what this is or how to find it, there are many helpful articles and videos on the web (should look something like .xx, numbers will vary).
